Brinley's 5th Birthday (February)

Brinley is 5!!! How did my baby turn 5!! Time goes by way too fast. This year for her birthday she wanted a ladybug cake.

I was at a volleyball tournament in Kaysville with Emilee all day the day before her family birthday party. Kylee volunteered to make her cake. I assumed she would just make a regular cake with frosting and sprinkles. Brinley has the greatest big sister. Kylee asked Brinley what kind of a cake she wanted and then went online to find an idea of how to make a ladybug cake. After 2 trips to wal-mart and several phone calls to me, they had one adorable ladybug cake!

The most favorite present of the day was the box of cookie crisp!!

Brinley got to have her first ever friend birthday party. It had to be postponed until a week after her birthday because on the day it was scheduled to be she woke up sick!! When it was finally here she had a great time with her friends.

Just a little side note. The boy in this picture is Jackson Faerber. He lives down the road and is in her same primary class and they also go to pre-school together. They have become great friends...friends, that's what we keep telling her they are!!! She told us awhile ago that Jackson was her boyfriend. Then one night after we had babysat him for a couple hours she informed me that they had gotten married!! I dug up a little information from her older sister (whom I found was behind all of this) and found out that they had indeed been married...complete with a toilet paper ring and a kiss on the cheek!! Oh my! Jackson's dad is in our bishopric. The following Sunday it was his turn to conduct testimony meeting. He told the story about Brinley and Jackson getting married to illustrate the fact that even though it was a little pre-mature, he was glad his children had a good view of marriage and family! Brinley was sooo embarrased and she got several comments after the meeting was over. If you know Brinley, this story won't be too shocking to you!!!

Happy Birthday Brinley. You are the cutest 5 year old I know!! We love you!
